2024 AANA/ISAKOS Specialty Day All-Access Pass-Case Panel Discussion: Cartilage Restoration

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of doctors discusses two cases related to cartilage restoration. The first case involves a 24-year-old professional soccer player who experienced knee pain and problems after a previous meniscectomy. The panel suggests using PRP injections and assessing alignment to address the issue. The second case involves a 38-year-old army officer with a large trochlear lesion. The panel discusses different treatment options, including tibial tubercle osteotomy, reconstruction on the cartilage side of the trochlea, and using osteochondral allografts. They also discuss the challenges and techniques for matching osteochondral allografts to the trochlea and obtaining proper contours. The panel emphasizes the importance of considering the athlete's specific needs and expectations when determining the best course of treatment.
